WARNING READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow instructions and warnings could lead to serious injury, electric shock or fire. Save ALL warnings and instructions for future reference.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Do NOT use the power tool in raining conditions or wet areas where the power tool could get wet. Water in the power tool can lead to electric shock.
Only use the power tool when the plug correctly matches the power outlet. Modifying plugs greatly increases the risk of electric shock.
Keep the power cord away from anything that could damage it such as sharp edges, moving parts or heat. A damaged power cord increases the risk of electric shock.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT touch the mains plug with wet hands. Always disconnect the mains plug by pulling the plug and not the cable.
During operation for swimming pools, garden ponds and similar places, the appliance must be equipped with a residual current device (RCD).
DO NOT kink, crush, drag or drive over the mains cable; protect against sharp edges, oil, and heat.
Extension cables must not be used.
Disconnect the mains plug before all work on the device.
DO NOT install and switch on the appliance if there are people or animals in the medium being pumped (e.g., a swimming pool), or they are in contact with it.
Repairs must be carried out by a qualified electrician. If repairs are carried out incorrectly, there is a danger of liquid penetrating into the electrical components of the appliance.

SERVICE

Have your tools and machinery serviced with ToolShed replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool or machine is maintained.

OPERATION MANUAL

OPERATION
Attach a sufficiently long and strong rope to the handle before first use. The pump is submerged into the liquid on this holding rope and can also be carried with it as well as with the handle.
NOTE: In the case of continuous use of the pump with the rope, the condition of the rope must be checked regularly as it can decay and break over time.

CONNECT PRESSURE PIPE
For occasional use, use a suitable water hose.
The use of rigid pipes with a non-return valve is recommended for use at a fixed location. This prevents return flow of the liquid when switching off.

Screw pressure line onto the pressure connection.
All threaded connections must be sealed with thread sealing tape.
When using a hose, screw a suitable hose adapter onto the pressure connection.
Push the hose firmly onto the hose adapter and secure with a hose clamp.

INSTALLATION

The appliance needs an area of at least 50x50cm (the float switch must be able to move freely so that it functions properly.
Install the appliance so that the suction openings cannot be blocked by foreign bodies (place the appliance on a firm, even base if necessary).
Ensure that the appliance is stable.
DO NOT lift the pump with the cable or pressure hose as these are not designed for the tensile stress from the weight of the pump.

Submerge the pump at an angle into the liquid to be delivered so that no air pocket forms on the underside of the appliance. Suction would be prevented by this. Once the pump is submerged, it can be righted again.
Leave the pump on the bottom of the liquid container. Use a strong rope attached to the carrying handle of the pump for lowering.
Tighten the end of the rope after lowering.
This pump can also be operated while suspended on a rope.

Rinse with clean water. Remove stubborn contamination with a brush and detergent.
Submerge the pump in a container with clean water and switch on for a short time to rinse the inside of the pump.

Cleaning the suction area
Clean all accessible insides of the casing. Remove fibres which have wound around the rotor shaft by opening the pressure connection. Remove stubborn contamination with a brush and detergent.

STORING
If there is a risk of frost, dismantle the appliance and accessories, clean them and store in a place protected from frost.
